Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave

“Be careful the chosen path and the webs of practiced deceit, for where they led, all were responsible for the outcome of their fate.

“Good or bad, no one could be blamed save the person who brought favor or destruction down upon their own head.”

Those words by Sherrilyn Kenyon in At Death’s Door makes a lot of sense. Then again, Ms. Kenyon makes a lot of sense in most of her books. This quote is notable now because of where we are in the political arena currently. We have the far-left wing radicals, both Democrat and Republican, that are banging at the door of impeaching President Donald Trump while some are campaigning for the White House next year.

How does the quote match the circumstances? If you think about what is going on in both camps you can figure it out. On the impeachment front, the Democrat chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, has been deceiving the American people for three years with outbursts of having clear evidence against the President. Did he have any evidence? If he did, he should be charged with obstruction of justice because he never brought it forth in any investigation against the President.

After the now-infamous phone call to the new Ukrainian President, Rep. Schiff has announced at least two ‘whistleblowers;’ one of which had no first-hand knowledge of anything the President said. The other supposedly overheard the conversation. Both say that President Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with the Ukrainians by asking if they would look into the corruption scandal of the 2016 election. He didn’t ask for anything in return, just asked for a favor. He also suggested the Ukrainians look into the firing of the head prosecutor in the Burisma Holdings investigation when then-Vice President Joe Biden told them either fire the prosecutor or they wouldn’t get a billion dollars in foreign aid. The problem here is Rep. Schiff is keeping the identity of the whistleblowers a secret and not letting them testify.

Since then, the Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, has called for a formal impeachment inquiry with Rep. Schiff heading it up. Why would the chairman of the Intelligence Committee head up an impeachment inquiry when that would be more in the Judiciary Committee’s realm? Maybe because Rep. Adam Schiff is not quite on the up and up. He has kept all his interviews secret, behind closed doors. House members are not allowed in to listen and can only read the transcripts of the testimony with one of Rep. Schiff’s staff present. Only he can subpoena witnesses, only he can interview witnesses, witnesses are not to be cross-examined by the Republicans and the President is not allowed to have his attorney present during any interviews.

In other words, for those in California, it is a kangaroo court with a dictatorial, corrupt Representative heading it up.

How does the quote represent the 2020 Democrat presidential hopefuls? Each and every one of them is doing the politician thing spectacularly. They all are espousing the virtues of socialism, denouncing the evils of capitalism, and telling the American public that only the rich are going to pay for all their freebies.

The biggest deceit here is that only the rich will pay. There isn’t enough wealth in the country to pay for all their free stuff; which comes to anywhere from $9 Trillion to $15 Trillion per year. Next is that socialism is so great. Income equality, social justice against capitalism, open borders, abortion on demand even up to, and if wanted after birth. What the Democrats aren’t telling anyone is that all this is, is a stepping stone to a total government takeover of our lives. Socialism is the first step towards communism and communism has never achieved anything, anywhere, anytime, only total power to the government. When they talk about equality for all, they mean equally poverty, starvation, sickness, and hopelessness for everyone; except the privileged elite class that the government deems worthy.

What the far-left radical Democrats, and Republicans, don’t seem to understand is that we, the people of the United States, have tasted freedoms never given to a country’s citizens anywhere in the world. We, alone, have the guaranteed right to keep and bear arms. We have the right to speak out against our government and those that serve in government. We have the right to protest, peacefully. We are protected from unwarranted searches and seizure of our property. We won’t give those rights up willingly. We will use the Constitution as our biggest, strongest weapon. We, the people, are the rightful owners of the courts and government. We will not go peacefully into the night.

To make things better, we have the mainstream media. You know the ones: CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, etc. How are they making things better? It was in April of 2016 that Politico said that Trump needed to be impeached. You read right. Before he got nominated, Politico was saying that he needed to be thrown out of office. After the election in November, the rest followed suit. In less than forty-eight hours after the results of the election came in, “Trump has to be impeached.” It hasn’t stopped since. Every day the mainstream media accuses the President of some manufactured impeachable offense.

For over two years the nation was put through investigations into Donald J. Trump. There was the FBI investigation; the House Intelligence Committee investigation; the Senate Judiciary Committee investigation; and the two-year Mueller investigation. The Democrats knew that Trump had colluded with the Russians to win the election. They knew it. Through all those investigations there was not a shred of evidence that Donald Trump, his campaign, or any of his associates colluded with any Russian to win the election.

Since they couldn’t prove collusion, they decided to accuse him of obstruction of justice. After all, he fired James Comey, head of the FBI, for mishandling information, leaking to the press, and ineptitude. Since he was head of the FBI that had to mean that Trump was trying to end the collusion investigation. Mueller couldn’t prove that, either.

What the Mueller investigation did uncover was that the Clinton Campaign, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation had bought a report (the dossier) from a former British spy filled with unverified dirt on Donald Trump from the Russians and/or Ukrainians. There is audio of Rep. Adam Schiff talking to Russians asking for nude photos of Trump and a prostitute. (This was a hoax perpetrated by what sounded like Russians, but Schiff was very eager to obtain these photos.) The Ukrainians admitted to interfering with the elections on request from the Clinton campaign. This has not been investigated by any Democrat committee or organization or the Congress.

Is this what our political parties are becoming? Is deceit, deception, corruption, quest for ultimate power the norm? It seems as though it is. The now formal impeachment inquiry has no chance of removing Donald Trump from office. The Senate knows that there is nothing impeachable that the President has done. They also know that there is nothing Constitutional about the inquiry and that it is being controlled totally by the Democrats. All this is, is a political ploy to undermine Trump’s campaign for the 2020 election.

If you can’t win with policy, cheat. There is no candidate on the Democrat side that would win an election against Trump and all that he has done for the country. With record low unemployment, record-high employment of minorities, record high stock market, historic tax cuts and regulation cuts, effective trade deals, stronger border security, working toward getting us out of endless wars, working toward de-nuclearizing North Korea, etc., the Democrats just can’t compete. They are running on socialism, open borders, abortion on demand (up to and even after birth), free everything for illegal aliens, stacking the Supreme Court, eliminating the Electoral College (thus ensuring Democrat wins because New York, California, and Illinois are the most populated states and are Democrat), and eliminating the Second Amendment.

Rep. Al Greene stated it so eloquently, “The only way to beat Trump is to impeach him.” Rep. Maxine Waters has been screaming (literally) for three years, “Impeach 45!” The mainstream media, which is just the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, has been reporting rumor instead of facts since before the election and parroting the cry for impeachment. Hollywood celebrities have joined in, also. This is a web of enormous proportions against a duly elected President. The far-left radicals, both Democrat and Republican, are doing everything they can to undo the 2016 election and go against the will of the people. The Founding Fathers were terrified of this.

From Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, etc., all the way to Reagan, politicians, conservative celebrities, philosophers, statesmen, authors, and everyday citizens can be quoted saying that we, the people, must be ardent in protecting our freedoms from tyranny and it will be we, the people, that will ultimately allow the government to become so big and so powerful as to be able to take those freedoms from us. The last three years have proven just that. The political machine in Washington, DC has shown just how corrupt it is and how far it will go to protect itself from the people. The Washington elite would rather destroy the entire country than give up their power and wealth. That is why they must get rid of Donald Trump. He is their Waterloo.

Richard Nixon was persecuted by the Democrats. He resigned before his impeachment was over. He committed crimes. Bill Clinton was impeached. The impeachment articles enumerated, I believe, eleven felonies. He was not removed from office. Both of these Presidents were afforded due process. They both had their attorneys present during questioning. They both had the opportunity to have witnesses on their behalf. Witnesses for the prosecution were cross-examined by the defense. Both of these impeachments were public. Point in fact, I can remember Senator Sam Irvine asking John Dean questions on TV.

What are the Democrats giving Donald Trump? Nothing. So far, the witnesses have all been disgruntled, former employees and/or Obama era employees. All interrogations/interviews have been behind closed doors. There has been no cross-examination, no witnesses for the defense, Trump’s attorneys are not allowed, and the public only knows what Rep. Adam Schiff decides to leak. In other words, for those of you in California, there has been no due process afforded President Donald J. Trump. There has been no crime committed. Articles of Impeachment have not been filed or voted on (this is supposed to happen this week). I’ve said it and said it and said it: this is a kangaroo court using communist-style investigating and interrogating/interviewing. Unconstitutional is an understatement.

The web of deceit, of corruption, is enlarging exponentially each day. The far-left radicals will soon learn that their ideology, their insane hatred of the President, the Constitution, conservatives, and the country as a whole will destroy the very thing that they want to control. The United States is on a precipice with one foot on a skateboard and the other hanging over the edge. They will have no one to blame but themselves when the economy collapses under their socialist policies, the government is overrun by the illegal aliens that they are protecting, or they are beheaded by the terrorists that enter the country proclaiming refugee status.

"Now Is The Time For All Good Men To Come To The Aid Of Their Country"

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” A phrase any typing student knows well. Where did it come from? From what I have gleaned from the almighty internet is this: The original phrase came from Patrick Henry as, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.” Then, again, I also found that it was nothing more than a phrase from Charles Keller, a typing teacher. Either way, it makes for a resounding cry to any patriotic person from any nation.

Phrases from the past, from such noble historical figures such as Patrick Henry, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, William Wallace, Robert Bruce, Plato, Socrates, Alexander the Great, etc., are fodder for anyone wanting to incite patriotism, energy, fanaticism, or even common sense from a group of people. (Wow! That was a long sentence.) These, as were all great historical figures, were people worth quoting. These were great men and women that accomplished great things. But, does it really take quoting a great historical figure to bring everyday people into the fold?

What about those people that are normal, every day, working-class people that have a good head on their shoulders? I have had people give good advice that no one has ever heard of. Some of the best knowledge comes from those that don’t have a college degree, that may not even have a high school diploma. I knew a man once that hadn’t even finished the eighth grade that had more common sense and usable knowledge that it was incredible. I would have traded all my formal education for a fraction of his ‘street smarts.’

You see, it isn’t education that makes a person smart. It is the knowledge gained from life that counts. A college degree shows that you have formal education in a certain area. You may know accounting forward and backward, or engineering, or political science, or medicine and not have an ounce of common sense. As an example, just look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Here is a woman that supposedly graduated quite high in her class from a major college with a degree in economics. When she opens her mouth, what comes out shows that she has absolutely no idea about real life, history, or common sense. I actually feel sorry for her at times. I’m not AOC bashing. I am using her as a great example of how formal education means nothing when it comes to living.

I have a friend that turned me on to a certain author. He brought over a book and told me that he thought I might like it. I’d never heard of this author, but I read it. It was a great read. Since that time, I have bought almost every book this author has written. Why? I have read this woman’s words because she writes about life, about how hard it can be, about how anyone can overcome any obstacle if they just persevere. “Over, under, through, or around. There is always a way.” The funny thing about it is that when I went to Barnes and Noble to buy her books, I found them in the – ROMANCE section. I’ve never read romance novels. I was surprised, to say the least.

Wondering who that author is, are you? Well, let me say this: this woman has had a hard life, she was abused as a child and as a wife, she is dyslexic, she came from a poor family, she has attained wealth and fame in spite of all she had against her. In her novels, she writes of overcoming adversity and betrayal. “We are nothing more than life’s whipping boys, but we continue to fight because of the ones we love.” Through her characters, she tells a story of how a person can be more than what the believe; that life isn’t fair but that, no matter what, we must continue to live, and things will get better.

The author: Sherrilyn Kenyon. Her books: The Chronicles of Nick, The League, The Dark-Hunters, The Dream Hunters, and The Belador Series.

Here is an example of how an everyday person can inspire anyone. This is not an advertisement for Ms. Kenyon or her books, although I do recommend them to everyone. This woman has overcome great hardship to achieve great things. She isn’t a great political figure, social justice figure, community organizer, or historical figure. She is just a common woman with a story to tell. Throughout her books are life lessons worth learning; especially in the Chronicles of Nick series.

You see, there are people that haven’t gained notoriety that are quite knowledgeable in life. Some of these people have little formal education. It is LIFE that teaches us the most. If you don’t have some form of common sense, then life will beat you down. That is the problem in today’s world: all it takes is a lot of money or knowing someone in power and you don’t have to worry about a lot. Look at any political party in any nation and you can see that common sense is not at the top of their agenda.

The days of patriotism, commitment, loyalty, and common sense are over. Today is the day of feelings; how a person feels about any given subject is what is important. What the individual wants is more important than what the community needs. Special interest gets the venue, not common-sense policy. It boils down to where politicians can gain more power; and it isn’t just here in the United States.

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” A great quote, even if it is just a typing exercise. It’s just too bad that more people don’t take it to heart. This quote isn’t just about patriotism. It is about life. United we can achieve anything. Divided, we will fall to whatever comes along. Not just as a nation but, also, as normal, everyday people living together in a world that is hell-bent to destroy us.

Families need to get back to being families. Friends need to get back to being loyal and having each other’s backs. Communities need to get back to helping each other. “The good of the many outweighs the good of the few.” Too often the few demands more than the many can accommodate. When a minority’s wants are put before the needs of the majority it puts undue pressure on everyone. As can be seen in today’s world, minorities are fast becoming the influencers of policy regardless of the consequences of those policies. Political correctness is destroying the freedoms that every person should be enjoying. Families are no longer together, friends turn into enemies, communities become individuals hiding behind locked doors.

Maybe that great quote should be changed just a little. Maybe, instead of ‘the nation,’ or ‘the party,’ it should read, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their neighbors, their families, their friends.” Whether it be local, state, national, or global, isn’t it time we came to the aid of those we care about? Isn’t it time we got out of the idea that the individual is more important than the community?

I’m not talking about opening our borders to anyone and everyone that wants to come to the US. I’m not talking about the working people paying more and more taxes to support those that are unwilling to support themselves. I’m not talking about giving up inalienable rights because of another becoming offended. I’m talking about making sure that those inalienable rights are available to everyone wherever they are. Maybe if the people of the world would just let each individual be who they are it would be a better place to live. Let the LBGT community be gay. Let the hunters hunt. Let the vegans eat their veggies while the omnivores eat whatever they want. Let people worship the way they please without demanding the oppression of other’s beliefs. Don’t demand that everyone think and believe the way you do.

It’s a big world that is becoming smaller every day. There are a lot of people living on this little rock in space. As the Beatles once said, “Let it be.”

A Very Sad State of Affairs

First of all let me get this out of the way: I stated at the very beginning that if Donald Trump wavered I would be one of the first to call him out. As you all know, very well, I call out the liberals constantly because I have a very conservative political view. That being said, I will get into the reason for this article.

The past week has been pretty… exciting? Bashar al Assad allegedly gassed his own people with Siran gas, one of the worst, because he’s just an asshole like that. Trump, not having drawn the line but not letting some Russian backed dictator cross it, used fifty nine Tomahawk missiles to level one airfield that the Syrian dictator (and the Russians) were using within hours afterward; this being done while our President was having a state dinner with the President of China. Rex Tillerson was in Russia speaking with his counterpart, Sergei Lavrov and then actually got to talk with good old Vlad Putin, himself.

Now, to top that off, our friend in North Korea decided to test more nukes and the Donald sent a few Navy ships toward the Korean peninsula as a show of force. Having LittleMan Sydrome, Kim Jung Un, the North Korean midget in charge decided to threaten the United States with nuclear war if we so much as fired one shot into his country.

Wow! Just….wow! Nothing like making history or watching it happen before your very eyes; I now know how the colonists felt as the Founding Fathers decided to declare our independence and then war against England.

Is it the end of times? I doubt it. Even though the North Korean midget in charge is a crazy bastard that would actually fire nuclear warheads at one of the two most powerful nations on the planet, I don’t think China would allow it. Although, it doesn’t seem as though China has a whole lot of sway over what Kim does anymore.

So, with all that out of the way, as a side note, if you want to get the shit kicked out of you just fly United Airlines on an overbooked flight. It isn’t enough that you get groped and prodded and interrogated and treated like you’re an Islamic Terrorist by the TSA in the airports, now you get to be treated like that on one of the biggest air carriers. Gotta love America.

Now to get to the heart and soul of what I want to say. This isn’t gonna make any liberal happy. President Trump did exactly what he should have done by tossing some explosives at Syria. I think he may have overdone it a little but, the thought was right. He did what King Obama should have done when the midget crossed HIS red line. Instead, the King decided to hang back and let the little bastard do what he wanted.

Did the Donald do anything to start WWIII? Nope. Hate to tell you this, folks, that war started on September 11, 2001. Even with the controversy (conspiracy?) of exactly what happened that fateful day as the World Trade Center fell, that was when this bloody war started. I know that I have a hard time believing the good ol’ government that it was Islamic Terrorists given HOW the buildings fell and that in the beginning there was actually no airplane in the wall of the Pentagon. That notwithstanding, the war started with George W. Bush against Saddam Hussein.

Now, with the downfall of the almighty Clinton Empire, the liberals are waging a war of their own against fellow Americans because they didn’t get their way; even the Congress is involved within their own hallowed halls, liberals against conservatives. Damn that Donald Trump! How dare he win a rigged election against him. Hillary was supposed to win so that she could finish off turning this country into a Socialist State.

First was the Russian hacking that, by the way, COULD have been our own Intelligence Community pretending to be Russian hackers. Then it turned into Russian collusion with the Trump Team. Then, lo and behold, came attacks on Team Trump associates. Liberal attacks at every level. Attorney General Jeff Sessions reclusing himself from overseeing investigations against the Trump Team then Devon Nunez reclusing himself from the same for the same reason – liberal allegations of biased investigating. Yeah, the war is in full swing and the liberals are flinging everything they can at the conservatives. Unfortunately, it seems as though the libs are in the lead by a league and the conservatives keep holding back.

It kinda makes a person wonder about what is going on in Washington. Is the Donald really ‘draining the swamp’ or is the swamp swallowing his administration one position at a time without any defense against it?

Why is the surveilling of Trump Tower a year before the election by the Obama Administration not being thoroughly investigated with hard evidence that it did happen while the Russian collusion is being beaten into the ground with all the Intelligence Community saying there is absolutely no evidence of it? Why is the Clinton Foundation not being investigated? Why is the Hillary email scandal a thing of the past, forgotten amongst the liberal outcry against the conservatives? Are the conservatives in DC really wanting to lose in 2018, 2020 and beyond?

There are more questions than answers in the world today. Why is Vlad so intent on supporting Assad when he knows that the Syrian dictator broke international law by using chemical weapons against his own people? Why is Kim Jung Un playing big man against an adversary that could wipe him off the face of the Earth? Why does Mexico get all pissed because Trump wants to build a wall to stop illegal immigration when they won’t allow Americans to illegally enter their country? Why do Americans want illegals to stay, no matter if they commit violent crimes against Americans?

The biggest question is this: why do we have to ask these questions? Isn’t the government supposed to be doing a thorough investigation into all things illegal that I’ve asked about? Why isn’t the Congressional committees demanding the ‘evidence’ that Susan Rice left with her unmasking scandal? Why won’t the FBI cooperate with Congress on this? Is the swamp so dense and thick that they don’t care about the law when that law is broken against the conservative party?

Yes, my friends, the war has already started. The evidence is there for anyone to see if they look with open eyes instead of a closed mind. World War III and a Civil War are going on at this very minute, this day, this month, this year and will continue as long as we, the People, allow it to. The question about this is what can we do about it? We are only a country of pampered children that want given to us what our parents and forefathers had to work hard for, fight and die for. So, what can we do? QUIT PLAYING BY THEIR RULES. I’m not advocating a violent rebellion such as the Founding Fathers had to resort to. I’m talking about not doing what the elitists want. Quit fighting about policy. Quit fighting about platform. Quit fighting about civil rights that aren’t being ignored. All these things are just distractions that have been bought and paid for by the richest of the rich.

You really think that Black Lives Matter started out as a terrorist organization bent against law enforcement and the establishment? I doubt it. Do you really think that all these gay rights activists really think that the LBGT community doesn’t have equal rights? There will always be discrimination by some but the majority of the people don’t adhere to such practices. Do you really think that keeping illegal immigrants in this country is really helping us out? Do you really think that we should bring those refugees into the country when there are places in their own region that could house and protect them better while staying with their own culture? The only refugees that WANT to come here are the terrorists and you are inviting them in.

All these things are orchestrated acts to keep us distracted from the real world and what is going on. There will always be war, discrimination, bullying, differences of opinion and viewpoint. Nothing can be done about that. What can be done is forgetting about all the shit that is being shoved down our throats and look behind the scenes to see what is actually going on. They don’t want us to get along. They love us to fight each other. That keeps them in power. OUR TIME IS NOW! Join the passive rebellion and quit doing what they want.  Liberal, conservative, socialist, communist, dictator or freely elected leader, it doesn’t matter, we are all being blindsided by an evil terrorist organization more secret than any other before. We are all just pawns on their chessboard and we are willingly entertaining them.

Open your eyes. Open your mind. Choose what you want. Fight on your feet for real freedom or die on your knees subjugated by the elitists. It’s your choice. 

It's Time To Be American Again

Here it is, April 1, 2017, April Fool’s Day. The only problem with today’s blog is this: it is NOT an April Fool’s prank.

It’s been an interesting week in the political arena. Things are heating up in Washington DC what with Nunez going to the White House to check out some classified documents that may, or may not, prove that the Obama Administration surveilled the Trump Team before, during and after the election, and, of course, the continuing articulation of collusion with the Russians.

It seems as though the liberal left are bent on destroying the Republican Party at all costs while ignoring things that they may, or may not, have done. With the televised admission by Ellen Farckus that she, and her colleagues, were to find as much intel as possible and spreading it as widely as possible against the Trump Team, it would seem as though the Obama Administration is guilty of something. Add to that the information that Nunez has come up with that supposedly came from a source high up in the intelligence community of the Obama Administration it seems as though the Democrats need to start investigating ALL the scandalous things going on in DC not just against the Republicans. Let’s make this a bipartisan investigation in everything.

Sean Spicer went off on the press corps telling them they need to start asking more about the substance of things going on instead of who said what, where it was said and when it was said.  The liberal left media is more interested in destroying the Trump Train than actually reporting news and facts about everything going on in the corrupt capitol. They seem to only want to know about the fictitious collusion or finding some dirt on the Trump Team. They won’t even question anything that comes up about the left or what BHO or HRC may have been doing.

Why did the DNC refuse to let the FBI look at the ‘hacked’ server and, instead, hired an outside contractor? Why is the Clinton Foundation not under investigation for the contributions from Russian people? Why is the sale of one fifth of the US supply of uranium to Russia not questioned? Why are the paid speeches by Bill Clinton in Russia not questioned? Why is the unmasking of private US citizens during the transition not questioned? Why is the left immune to scrutiny while the right is questioned and investigated thoroughly?

What, exactly, is it that the left is hiding? Trump has told all his people to cooperate with every investigation going. Mike Flynn asked for immunity on the advice of his attorney, not under orders of the President. Why? Because of the incessant witch hunt going on by the liberals. They will make a mountain out of a molehill just to keep the bullshit going against the right. Even Hillary, and her accomplices, asked for immunity and they actually did break the law.

Moving on to another topic; why is Judge Neil Gorsuch not been confirmed and why are the Democrats so adamant that he not be confirmed. The man is more than qualified. He is replacing a Justice that believed the same way, a Constitutional Originalist. Do they want the Republicans to use the nuclear option and use a simple majority? That would suit them in later years to be sure but during the next four to eight years it could be devastating to them. There are some pretty old Justices on the Supreme Court that could possibly pass away or, gods forbid, retire from service. If the right still has control of the White House those vacant seats would be filled with conservative Justices instead of liberal ones.

It isn’t just the Supreme Court nominee that has been more than interrogated before being confirmed. Just about every one of Trump’s nominees has gone through more questions than any other President’s. Why? The Democrats are really, really angry that Hillary Clinton didn’t win a rigged election in her favor. She was supposed to be sitting in the White House right now, not Donald Trump. She was supposed to win so that the Obama destruction of the American ideal was completed. The left is being obstructionist because they didn’t get their way.

Trump is a foreign entity in the political world. He is a Washington outsider that has found his way in and the left is livid about it. He wants to do away with the corruption that has prevailed in DC for decades and they just can’t let that happen. To be sure, it isn’t only the left that is scared of what Donald J. Trump wants to do. There are those conservatives that are just as corrupt and power hungry as the left. This political club ideology reared its ugly head when Paul Ryan submitted his replacement of ObamaCare. Trump wanted to repeal and replace the failing healthcare plan pretty quickly so Ryan put a plan together, basically, overnight. There were no hearings or committees or meetings between Congressmen about it. The Freedom Caucus didn’t like it. The Moderates didn’t like it. The power struggle within the Republican Party ensued and the bill didn’t even make it to a vote. Imagine that.

If the Republicans can’t get together to get things done then the Trump Train may just get derailed. It’s been a long time since the Republican Party had both houses and the Oval Office. This is their chance to bring back the old fashioned American values that the Democratic Party has destroyed with their liberal stance. This is going to be the only chance the conservatives have to bring back something that is even remotely resembling common sense, morality and national security; not to mention national pride. They right have a minimum of four years and a maximum of eight to get America back on track. If they can’t get it together, it won’t happen and the left will gain back what they’ve lost in the last few years as far as Congressional seats.

Next subject: sanctuary cities, counties and states. When Federal Law says that an immigrant must come into the country legally, file the correct paperwork, have a visa and/or passport, etc., that is law. If said immigrant does not have the proper paperwork, they are in this country illegally; that, in and of itself, makes that immigrant a criminal. Add to that crime already committed, a lot of these illegals are committing other, more violent, crimes. They should not be protected by anyone in this country, much less elected officials sworn to uphold the law. It sickens me to hear that, even after some horrendous crime has been committed by an illegal immigrant (such as rape of a child or murder), some city, county or state protects that illegal. What is the left thinking? Do they care that little for legal immigrants or natural citizens of this country? It seems so.

The left seems to want open borders allowing anyone into the country at any time. If someone is here illegally, that’s fine, we’ll give you a driver’s license, welfare, work, education, the right to vote and even protect you from being deported. The left doesn’t seem to care that people that are coming here LEGALLY are being made to wait, going through the red tape, spending money and doing things the right way. Why should they do that when all they have to do is cross the border illegally and gain citizenship status without having to do any of that?

The left says that illegals are important to the economy. How so? Well, they work and pay taxes. Do they? Do they keep that money they earn here in the US or send it home to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras or wherever else they come from? How many of those illegals can actually legally work because every application I’ve ever filled out asks if I am legally able to work in the US? I’ve done taxes for illegals that got the amnesty thing. Yep! Seven years of taxes for one that had nine different social security numbers, all fake. The IRS sent him a letter, which he showed me, that gave him one, legal, social security number to use for all seven years. Guess what? He had refunds from every return amounting to around $20,000. American citizens can only go back three years to get refunds.

Illegal immigration is definitely good for our economy and those that are born here and here legally. All Trump wants to do is secure our borders to keep this sort of thing from happening and to keep out those that would do us harm. The left wants to let them all in and protect them.

I have not seen such obstructionist actions against an administration since Nixon. Trump can do nothing without the left being against it. I honestly believe that if Trump came up with a cure for every disease known that the left would be against it because he would be killing something.

I believe that it is time to get rid of the political bullshit and start thinking like Americans. We are one country. We all bleed red. We all have a stake in what happens. We weren’t built on socialism or open borders without security. Lady Liberty’s plaque was written by the French, not the Constitution. Let’s start following the Law of the Land instead of Mein Kampf or the Communist Manifesto. We are not Denmark, Sweden or Australia. We are the United States of America. We fought against a tyrannical dominion 240 years ago and now, the liberal left wants to bring back those ideals that we fought against. We need smaller government control, less taxes, more self-reliance, more border security, and more American Patriotism. It’s time to start being American again.

Capitalism versus Socialism

Capitalism versus Socialism - that is the big debate these days. Here it is, 2017 and we have to debate the pros and cons of two different economic platforms? Hasn’t history taught us anything? First of all, we need to know what the definitions of these are so let’s go to my favorite dictionary, The Oxford American Dictionary.

Capitalism: n. a system in which a county’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. Synonyms: private enterprise, free enterprise, the free market, private ownership. Antonyms: communism.

Socialism: n. the theory that a country’s land, transport, industries, etc., should be owned or controlled by the community as a whole. There are no synonyms or antonyms listed.

Since the antonym of Capitalism is communism, I’ll put the definition of it here also.

Communism: n. 1 a political system in which all property is owned by the community. 2 a system of this kind based on Marxism.

Marxism: n. the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, which formed the basis for communism.

So, as you can see, Capitalism is a free trade system which promotes economic growth and Socialism stagnates growth. If you don’t believe that, you’ve been living under a rock for the last hundred years. The American economic system is set up on Capitalism, one of the reasons why this country has become the world power that it is. We have created more wealth for private individuals than any other country in history. Take a look at John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Joseph Kennedy, and a host of others that built great fortunes through capitalism. If the government had controlled their industries do you really think they would have built such empires? No.

Now, let’s take a look at other countries such as Russia, China, Korea, etc. The economies of these countries, Russia before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the separation of the Russian states, are government controlled. The people are extremely poor, underfed, worked jobs that paid little and the economy suffers. People cannot speak out against the government and, in the case of China and North Korea, communication is censored. The people cannot access social media or interact with other countries. Why? Because they would learn of the freedoms that capitalism and a free enterprise system has. They would rebel against government control, as happened during the Bolshevik Revolution and then when President Ronald Regan made that famous statement, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

The liberal left in America today wants a more socialistic system put in place. They want government controlled healthcare, government controlled industry, government controlled thought (political correctness is government control of your thought processes), government control of whether you can own a firearm, etc. The left would love to see the government in control of every aspect of our lives. They will, of course, deny this claim. If you think about it, honestly, what is their platform? Political correctness, gender neutrality, open borders, anti-religion, anti-Semitic, dependence on government in the form of welfare, pro-choice, labels on people of differing lifestyles, color, national origin, and many other socialistic programs. They protest against capitalism and free enterprise, freedom of expression (except of their own ideals), protecting our borders, illegal acts being punished (in the case of illegal immigration even rewarded with money and the same rights and privileges given to legal immigrants and natural citizens), etc.

The left scream that people that have worked hard for their money don’t deserve that money and should give it to the poor; some even say the poor deserve it because those rich bastards stole it from them. Is there corporate greed? Of course there is. Should people be paid an honest day’s wage for an honest day’s labor? Of course. What isn’t said in all these tirades is that those people getting paid those low wages can’t even count change; they are uneducated and have no motivation to progress in life in any way, shape or form. They live their little lives doing drugs, drinking, and getting tattoos without thought of where the rent or utility bill money is going to come from; after all, society OWES them a living so they wait for the welfare check.

Are there those that do try to improve their lives, are just stuck in a rut that they can’t get out of? Yes, in a way. There are more opportunities open in this country to improve a person’s life than anywhere else in the world. A person just has to have the motivation to seek them out. Dr. Ben Carson is a fantastic example of this. A boy raised in poverty that rises above his environment and becomes one of the world’s finest neural surgeons. You can’t tell me there aren’t more pros than cons in a capitalistic society.

The liberal left won’t claim victories like Dr. Carson. They would rather scream racism, homophobia, xenophobia, white privilege, etc. The left promote victimhood, not triumph against all odds. The labels they put on people are symbolic of socialism. It fuels the flame toward that stagnation and destruction of growth and wealth. If they can keep people divided and fighting against each other, sooner or later, capitalism will be overcome by socialism and then, finally, communism. If you were paying attention to the definitions you will see the opposite of capitalism is communism and, by definition, socialism ultimately will become communism.

Do the liberals have some good ideas? Of course they do. In the 1960’s it was the liberals that stood up against racism (I never have understood that term…after all, we are all ONE race – the human race). Since that time, racism (which will never disappear any more than school bullying will) has been almost done away with. Well, unless you listen to the liberals. They need things like racism to keep their agenda going. Gay rights is another good example. The problem with all these things is that if it weren’t for the liberals screaming ‘special people’ there wouldn’t be any problems in today’s world. Everyone, regardless of color or orientation or national origin, have the same rights and privileges as anyone else. Are there those that disagree with this? Yes, but they are the minority. Are there laws against same sex marriage? No. In fact, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that state-level bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional.

What about climate change and/or use of renewable energy? Climate change is a big debate today. Is it because of humanity or just the cyclic nature of the Earth, itself? My opinion is the latter but the liberals seem to want to blame humans. As for renewable energy, this should have been started long ago. Wind, solar, water energy is renewable and doesn’t damage the Earth in any way. Why industry waited so long to start to explore this is totally unknown to me other than it went against big business (oil and coal) and would cut into those corporate profits. (Yes, I am very liberal on that. I believe in capitalism but not greed.) The problem isn’t that liberals have bad ideas; they have bad ways of promoting those ideas. They demand a government controlled way of doing it through legislation instead of a private way of doing it where people will actually grow and make money. Socialism/communism versus capitalism.

The United States of America, a country not yet 250 years old, set up a government that was for, by, and of the people. We were a country that developed an experimental government. Now, because of liberalism, that government has grown and grown until we now have a government that has a country. We are no better than any other country. Socialism is on the rise. Our Democratic Republic is fast becoming a Marxist society. The liberals seem to think that the Constitution of the United States was written as a guideline instead of as the Law of the Land. The only time the Constitution is right is if it is in their favor. I honestly believe that left to their ideals, the Constitution would be done away with and the Communist Manifesto or Mein Kampf would become the new law. The left absolutely hates capitalism and whole-heartedly embraces socialism. Without it, they would not exist.

I, for one, will rely on capitalism to continue to make this country great. I will fight the liberal agenda toward socialism/communism every step of the way. I will stand up for America and the rights and freedoms that my forefathers fought and died for. 

What Exactly Is a Conservative, Liberal or Libertarian?

What does it mean to be a conservative? What does it mean to be a liberal? How about a libertarian? I mean, we all claim to be something politically, emotionally, socially, etc. So, what does that mean, exactly? To figure that out, we need to know the definition of each. Let’s go to my favorite dictionary, the Oxford American Dictionary, Third Edition.

Conservative: adj. 1 opposed to change and holding traditional values. 2 (in politics) favoring free enterprise and private ownership. [Synonyms: 1 right-wing, reactionary, traditionalist, old-fashioned, dyed-in-the-wool, hidebound, unadventurous, set in your ways. 2 conventional, sober, modest, sensible, restrained. Antonyms: socialist, radical.]

Liberal: adj. 1 willing to respect and accept behavior or opinions different from your won. 2 (in politics) supporting the freedom of individuals and in favor of political and social reform. 3 generous in applying or adding something. 4 not strictly literal or exact. [Synonyms: tolerant, unprejudiced, broad-minded, open-minded, enlightened, permissive, free (and easy), easygoing, libertarian, indulgent, lenient. 2 a liberal social agenda, progressive, advanced, modern, forward-looking, forward-thinking, enlightened, reformist, radical. Antonyms: reactionary, strict.]

Libertarian: n. 1 a person who believes in libertarianism. 2 a person who argues for civil liberty. Libertarianism: n. a political philosophy arguing for very limited state intervention in the lives of citizens.

So, where do we all stand, politically and socially? As for me, a conservative, I believe in less government, self-reliance and self-responsibility, strong defense, secure borders, semi-isolationism, literal meaning of the Constitution, keeping personal freedoms and respecting others opinions even if they differ from mine. So, what am I really? According to the definitions above I am actually part conservative, part liberal and part libertarian.

Where do my liberal friends stand? Seems to me like they are just a bit liberal and libertarian; no conservatism there at all. Funny how the antonyms of conservative is “socialist and radical” and how those two terms seem to fit the liberals behavior since the election of November 8, 2016. (Especially the ‘radical’ part.)

This is not going to be me downgrading the liberals. Not this time. For one reason, I have not a clue as to why my liberal friends do what they do or think what they think. I did hear someone, I simply do not recall the guy’s name, title, job description or political party, explain that liberals, since the early 1960’s and the race problems of the time, have identified with being on the moral high ground. After all, they stand up and fight for the minorities of the world thus placing them above everyone else, especially conservatives, in this politically correct world. Is this how they really think? They would disagree, I believe. I really don’t know since I am not a liberal.

I am a conservative, with a little liberal and libertarian thrown in for good measure. I don’t like change and I will grab on to those traditional values with a death grip. Free enterprise and private ownership (capitalism for those of you from Chariton, Iowa and Rio Linda, California), are what brings about competition and wealth building. I do believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and their right to voice those opinions, even if they differ from my own. I believe in individual freedoms as long as those freedoms do not interfere or do away with my own. I will fight for everyone’s civil liberties (which, to me, are individual freedoms).

I try to be tolerant of other people’s lifestyles, religions, ethnicity and cultures. I am as far from prejudiced as you can get as far as racism, religion and orientation. Open-minded, yes (I have actually been known to change my mind if given facts that I didn’t know before). As for permissive, indulgent and lenient? Nah, too much of that and people become ‘entitled’ and that is not a good thing. I would like to think that I am forward-thinking, advanced and modern (as much as my old school brain can manage).

What strikes me most about liberals, as for synonyms, is radical, permissive, indulgent, and lenient. If a parent is permissive, indulgent and lenient with a child, what happens to that child? They become brats that think they deserve everything without giving anything or working for things. REALLY? And where is America today? We have a bunch of ‘entitled’ children that are brats, have no respect for anyone or anything (including law enforcement and government), and believe the world owes them a living and don’t want to work for anything.

I have not known any liberal to actually tolerate, indulge, or be willing to respect and accept opinions of anyone other than those that think the way they do. Try to have a debate with a liberal. You can’t. You cannot use logic, common sense or facts if any of those things go against what they believe. I have been called some of the most heinous of things because I don’t agree with the liberal way of thinking on a lot of subjects. When I state facts, they are said to be ‘alternative facts’ or lies or unsubstantiated reports. Doesn’t matter if those facts are from reputable sources or even their own officials.

I am not insulting any liberal or, at least, I’m not trying to. All I am doing is stating facts as I have seen and heard through personal experience. Am I just as hard-headed as some liberals? Of course I am on some subjects; on other subjects, not so much. Prove to me where I am wrong and I will most likely change my view. But I must have facts from reputable sources, eye witnesses, and incontrovertible evidence. Call me Trey Gowdy, Jr.

So, how do you look at yourself? Are you conventional, sensible, restrained, and a traditionalist or are you socialist, radical, easygoing, indulgent, lenient, reformist? Only you know the answer to this question. The bigger question is where do you want our country to go? We were founded on those fundamentally traditionalist, right-wing, old-fashioned, sensible, restrained ideals with individual freedoms and liberties guaranteed by our Constitution. That is what America is. We are not a country without borders, without respect for government and law enforcement, where everyone gets their way regardless of how others feel, where government controls every aspect of our lives and everyone is entitled to everything without working for it.

Free enterprise is what built this nation. Individual freedom is what has brought millions and millions of immigrants here (legally). Radical ideas of a new form of government, never tried before in history, is what got us those things. You can’t reinvent the wheel and make it better. It still has to be round to move that vehicle. A country without borders is not a country. National security is more important than open arms to anyone. Free everything will kill our economy. Wealth redistribution will not make anyone wealthy. The biggest problem with socialism is that sooner or later you will run out of other people’s money. Traditional values, you know - self-reliance and self-responsibility, are what will keep us going forward.

Dressing up as vaginas and protesting for ‘women’s rights’ will not gain anything; especially since those doing that are not actually protesting for women’s rights, only the right to kill unborn children. Women have equal rights and in a lot of cases have more rights. Minorities have the same rights as those so-called white-privileged people. If not, then why are there so many minorities that have risen to great heights? People like Barack Obama, Ben Carson, Colin Powell, Condaleeza Rice, Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, Jackie Robinson, etc. are all far above a lot of white-privilege people. So don’t tell me that just because a person is white they are better off than those that are not. Don’t tell me that homosexuals are worse off than heterosexuals when Hollywood is filled with extremely rich and powerful homosexuals. Don’t tell me that immigrants can’t become great statesmen/women, businessmen/women, athletes, etc. when you see it all the time.

As soon as you stop empowering that victim ideology to people and start empowering the fact that anyone can achieve their dreams then this country, actually the world, will become a better place for everyone.

Sorry, got a little off topic didn’t I? Not really when you consider that all the racism, victim ideology and radical protests are coming from the liberal left and the conservative right is out here wondering why they are doing it.

Decide for yourself what you are and what you want. As Smokey the Bear said, “Only You can prevent the downfall of America.”

Boys in the Girl's Bathroom?

The year: 2016. The topic: Transgenderism. The sub-topic: use of bathrooms. Seems kind of stupid doesn’t it? After all, throughout history boys have been boys and girls have been girls. There has never been a question of what gender a person is. That is, until the 21^st century.

With the advent of an ‘enlightened’ society and everyone more worried about feelings than morality and common sense, the idea of what gender a person is, is now in question. It doesn’t seem to matter now, at least to a very small minority, that when a person is born with a penis that person is a boy and if not, it’s a girl. In today’s world, it all depends on how a person ‘identifies’ him/herself. If that boy, at whatever age, decides that he should be a girl that is what he is. If a girl decides she should be a boy that is how it is. It is all in identification of self.

As stated, this is a stupid topic. There should be no questions about a person’s gender yet, there is. The really stupid part about this is that the United States government, in its infinite liberal wisdom, has decided that it needs to get involved in this idiotic controversy and make laws pertaining to such idiocy. President Barack Hussein Obama decided that boys and girls should be allowed to use whichever bathroom they feel they identify with. In other words, boys are going to use the girl’s bathroom and vice-versa, by law.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I really don’t care whether a person is gay, bisexual or transgender or whatever. It is not my business at all. What is my business is who is in the bathroom with my wife, daughter, granddaughter, mother, sister or aunt. The argument that the liberals give is that a guy will not go think to himself, “Gee, there’s a girl going into the restroom to drop a load or pee. I think I’m going in there to watch.” That guy is probably not thinking that at all. What he’s thinking is, “Wow! There’s a good looking piece of ass going in there where no one can see what I do to her.”

Does it matter how a person ‘identifies’ him/herself? Not really. No one cares if that guy is gay or thinks he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body. If you have a penis, you are a male and need to use the guy’s bathroom. If you have a vagina, use the girl’s. There should not even be a discussion on this. Yet, thanks to the immoral minority and the far left liberals, there is a huge controversy about this.

The world really doesn’t care how you feel. The world doesn’t care how you identify. The world only cares about what is conceived as right and wrong. Right is boys use the boy’s and girls use the girl’s. Only the far left liberals believe that how a person feels is more important that what the majority believe and want. The biggest problem with that is there are more and more of those far left liberals out there every day. Why are they growing in number? The number is growing because our children are being indoctrinated into that way of thinking by going to public schools. But, that is another discussion.

If a man had gone into a woman’s restroom even two years ago they would have been arrested. Now, all they have to do is say that they identify as a woman and, BAM, they have a free pass to do what they want. Too bad I can’t identify as a multi-billionaire and miraculously become one.

What this whole thing boils down to is the liberal ideology is being shoved down the throats of the entirety of the United States regardless of what others want. Because the far left liberals are the only ones that know what is best for the rest of the country, they think that their ideology needs to be law. What they don’t realize is that their ideology is based on socialism, communism and, in some of the more extreme cases, Nazism. There is very little democracy and no capitalism in their way of thinking.

Redistribution of wealth, more government control, bigger government, tax and spend, victimization of minorities, racial division, class warfare… all are parts of their ideology and all are socialistic and communistic. As for the Nazism, it seems as though most of the far left would like to see the destruction of Judaism and the State of Israel. The left would like to see totally open borders, see nothing wrong with radical Islam (believing that Islam is a religion of peace when the Koran specifically states that ANY other religion is to be destroyed and their followers killed in the most horrific ways), they canonize immorality by uplifting abnormal behavior such as sex change, transgenderism and homo sexuality by making it the norm and anyone who opposes or speaks out against such behavior is ostracized and persecuted, Constitutional rights are there only as guidelines and used only when they suit the left, anyone who disagrees with them are xenophobic, homophobic, racist, bigots or fascists.

The Democratic Party states they are more tolerant and accepting of differing opinions, cultures and beliefs yet when they don’t get their way they riot, attack both verbally and physically those that are opposing them and destroy property. This is their idea of tolerance and acceptance. The things that they oppose are closed and protected borders, an armed nation, freedom of choice for healthcare, education and creating wealth, critical thinking, financial responsibility, self-reliance and anything conservative.

They demand that children be taken care of in one breath and the next they want the right to kill an unborn child. They demand that the country take care of foreign refugees yet refuse to take care of American homeless. They demand equal rights for minorities yet want those same rights taken from white, wealthy, Christians and Jews. They demand that Christianity be taken out of public places and schools then demand that Islam be allowed wherever it wants and be taught in schools. They demand that minorities (racial and sexual orientation) not be discriminated against yet heterosexual whites are open season. They demand the 2^nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms be done away with yet government officials and the wealthy liberals are protected by arms. Do you see the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party and the liberals?

What does all this have to do with gender and bathrooms? It has everything to do with it because it is a liberal way of shoving their ideology down the throats of the entire nation. If you are a minority, as transgender, gay, gender reassignment, etc. are, you are above what is considered as normal. We are supposed to be a civilized society. What the left wants is total enlightenment by way of destruction of what civilized society deems moral and ethical behavior.

As I have stated more than once, I am not racist and I have nothing against anyone that wants to do whatever with whomever. What I am against is being forced to accept it as normal. Do I want gays to be put back into the closet? No. Do I want people that want to change their sex to not be able to do it? No, as long as they are adults, have had counseling on the implications, etc. Do I want minorities to be discriminated against? No. I believe that we are all part of the human race and we all should have the same rights and privileges; that whatever two consenting adults want to do is their business, not mine, regardless of their same, or opposing, sex; if someone wants to change their sex, not my business. I don’t believe that government should get involved in any of these topics. The government’s job is to protect the nation against our enemies, provide for the common good, supply a military, roads and waterways and not try to tell me how to run my life.

Dr. Michael Savage has said that liberalism is a mental illness. The more I see the hypocrisy, violence and intolerance of the left; I tend to agree with him more and more. The more ‘logic’ that the left uses the more I see just how illogical they are. The left will say that conservatives are delusional in their way of thinking. When an elected official that is over the age of 50 years and can say, and believe, that a gunman will put down his weapon when he sees that no one else is armed, it becomes clear that liberalism truly is a mental illness.

These are just my thoughts, my opinions. Some of this is based on facts that have happened and some is just conjecture on my part based on observations of events. I leave it up to the readers to make up their own minds; it is not my intent to convert anyone but only to open their eyes and their minds to other ways of thinking. Is it in vain? Only you, the reader, can determine that.

Friends v Enemies

There is an old adage that says, “Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.” In today’s world, do you really know who your friends really are? It is becoming increasingly more difficult to discern between friend and enemy.

A person used to know, beyond doubt, who would stand up for him or her and who would stab them in the back. Today, your most trusted ally may well be the one to place the knife between your ribs. Loyalty, commitment and friendship are all on a temporary scale. To find a true friend, one that would never betray you no matter what, is hard to find. As long as a person can use you, needs what you can do for them, you are their friend. As soon as that need is gone, when they no longer can use you, they turn on you and leave you in the dark.

That woman, or man, that means so much to you, that you love more than life, has no more respect or loyalty to you than they did for the person before you. Once again, to find someone that is permanent is rare. Divorce rates skyrocket while long-term relationships plummet. Women want a baby daddy; someone that will give them an income for the long term. As soon as she gets what she wants, she is done with you and on to the next man; all the while you are paying for her lifestyle.

That boy that tells you he loves you more than life is only playing a part just to get into you. If you become pregnant, you are history and that poor baby is forgotten about by his/her sperm donor. It isn’t about love anymore. It is all about lust and numbers. The more women he can get between the sheets the better man he is.

As friends, two people can be inseparable for a time, sharing everything from dreams to fears. All it takes is one disagreement and the friendship is gone. “If I show you the darkness within me, will you still think of me the same?” Most will not. If you show your darkness, your demons, most will turn and run away. Why? They run because they don’t want to have to deal with any kind of drama or conflict. Most people today are so hedonistic that they cannot see beyond their own noses. Only their wants and needs and desires matter. If you don’t cater to them, they leave.

You can give until there is nothing left to give to some people and when it’s gone, so are they. It is your fault that they have so little. It is your responsibility to supply them with what they want. A gentle, giving heart must set limits because the takers never will. They will take until nothing remains then they will move on to someone else that can give to them. It is a never ending cycle.

When you do find that one person that will have your back, no matter what, keep hold of them. If someone is willing to be there through thick and thin, through the demons coming out, for better or worse, that person is a jewel to be held onto, cherished. If you betray that person you are doing them, and yourself, a grave injustice. How so? By betraying them you have lost a treasure most will never find and you will have maybe damaged a kind soul to where they never will trust again.

Life is hard. Life is not fair. It has become a dog eat dog world and that, my friends, is the beginning of the end. When everyone must watch their backs to keep from having a blade stuck through it, then true commitments and loyalty will never be able to exist. Only alliances founded on mutual survival will remain. “My enemy’s enemy is my friend.” Like an alliance between Russia and the United States, it becomes nothing more than enemies bound by a common goal. Once the goal is reached, or is found to be unreachable, that alliance is gone and they are still enemies.

Once a person realizes that they are nothing more than the god’s whipping boy, all hope leaves and despair is all that remains. For those that always look for the good in everyone, it will be a hard life of betrayal after betrayal. There is good in each and every person on this planet. It is whether each one wants to let that good out or keeps it buried deep inside so as not to be taken for granted. Instead of ‘do unto other as you would have done unto you,’ it has become ‘do unto other before they do unto you.’ That is why the good is buried in so many.

Greed, lust, gluttony, vanity, envy, sloth and wrath, the seven deadly sins rule this world. Hedonism is king. Chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility, the seven virtues are a thing of the past or are to be taken advantage of. The two have to coexist to keep a balance on good and evil. Today, the balance is tipped in favor of the sins whereas, in the past, the virtues were more important. What has caused this change in the balance of power?

In days gone by, religion and morality were more important than personal feelings. It was taboo to have sex before you were married and even more so to have a baby out of wedlock. Charity started at home because taking care of your own meant your survival. Respect for your elders and those in authority kept you from becoming an outcast in society. Conservatism was necessary to stay alive and prosper.

Today, it is vogue to have babies before marriage, even encouraged. Sex is encouraged at a young age as sex education and contraceptives are handed out to preteens in school. Our children are taught to think only of themselves when it comes to feelings and desires. They are also taught that to be righteous and moral they must give to those less fortunate no matter whom that may be. Liberalism is the only right way to think.

The difference between liberalism and conservatism is this: liberalism today is communism at worst and socialism at best. Why do I say that? ‘From each according to his ability to each according to his wants and needs’ is what liberalism wants. Wealth redistribution in the form of taxing the rich more and giving that money to the less fortunate, whether they work for it or not.

Conservatism today is a capitalist society. ‘You don’t work, you don’t eat.’ If you put in an honest day’s work, you get paid an honest day’s wage. You are responsible for your own actions and welfare. If you need assistance, it will be given but if you are able, but refuse, to be a productive member of society, you deserve no help.

Why did I put those two paragraphs in at this point? Because it gives the difference between how things were and how they are. When conservatism was reigning, friends were friends, loyalty and commitment meant something and morality was important. Today, liberalism reigns and people are against each other and only think of themselves.

We no longer have to struggle to actually survive. We struggle to survive our wants but not our needs. Yes, there are homeless and hungry people, even here in one of the wealthiest nations on Earth but, for the most part, people are taken care of. It’s not like we have to go out and hunt our food and make clothes out of the hides of what we kill. If we need food, there are welfare or food banks. If we need shelter there is welfare and missions. Society is called upon to supply to those in need. Our struggles are to support our wants, our greed, and our gluttony. Because we no longer have to struggle, our battles are now against each other. We take from those that are willing to give because we want what they have. We ingratiate ourselves to the kind, gentle, giving souls just to stab them in back once we are done with them.

If society continues in this fashion how long do you think that humanity will survive? Soon, very soon, we will once again become a feudal society and kill each other off as the ancient Celts, Normans, and Vikings did to those weaker than them. World population will decline to a few of the strongest. Those with money will have the protection of the castle while the weak will only have their hovels to hide in. Once the battles begin there will be no stopping them. Where will those takers and hedonists go then? Of course, to those that are kind and giving, if there are any of those left.

Hopefully, one day in the near future, conservatism, morality, loyalty and commitment will make a reappearance and become the norm replacing the hedonistic society that believes in the seven sins instead of the seven virtues. Hopefully.

OUR TIME IS NOW!

Instead of worrying about what which politician has done or is going to do, why don’t we worry about more important things? After all, ALL politicians are bought and paid for by the Illuminati, and not only in this country but around the world. The more important things to worry about are things like Mother Earth, world peace and ending poverty and hunger.

Yeah, I know, I sound like a hippie out of the 1960s. No, I don’t smoke weed and do LSD. I do happen to like listening to Joan Baez, Janice Joplin, The Doors and a few others from that time into the late 70s, though. No, I am not a hippie on drugs but I am a human being that is concerned about the planet that we live on.

As for those puppets that are supposedly running the governments of the world; they are only doing what they are told. The last President that went against the Illuminati was John F Kennedy and we all know what happened there. The mass media is pouring so much misinformation out that we can’t critically think about what is actually going on. This person is saying this about that politician or, this or that politician has done this or that or, the President should be impeached because he isn’t doing what the far left wants him to do even though he’s only been in office less than a month.

OPEN YOUR EYES, people! The temporary travel ban, the Mexican wall, the pipelines, the Education Secretary and Attorney General appointees, this is all just smoke and mirrors to the grand scheme of slavery that the Illuminati wants to keep going. Those thirteen families that run the world’s banks, and thus run the world, are causing this chaos. It doesn’t matter WHO is in WHAT office. The world is in a world of shit and there is nothing going to change it until the people of the WORLD unite against these corrupt egomaniacs with delusions of godhood.

As American citizens we believe that we have it better than everyone else in the world. We are the richest, most powerful nation on Earth. NO WE ARE NOT. We are TWENTY TRILLION DOLLARS in debt. Every country in the world is on the verge of financial collapse because of debt. WHO THE HELL DOES THE WORLD OWE????? I’ll tell you. The World owes those thirteen families, the Illuminati. That’s who the world owes. They have all the money. They own all the debt. It doesn’t matter if the USA has borrowed Trillions from China. China has no intention of ever collecting that money. It isn’t theirs to collect.

That paycheck that you get every week or two isn’t enough to sustain a family. Not in today’s economy. Why do you think both parents have to work? Because the time of a one income family is over. The Federal poverty level is $24,250 and the Medicaid threshold is $33,465 for a family of 4. The average rent for a two bedroom apartment is $934, average utilities (electric, gas and water) is $275, and groceries for a family of four can run up to around $500 depending on what you eat. That adds up to $20,508. Let’s add in cell phone, internet, eating out, clothing and other incidentals that everyone has; cell phone averages about $50 a month, internet about $50 a month, eating out (this would include those late night runs for soda and candy) could run up to over $200 a month, gas for your car, insurance for your car and home, any repairs that may need done, etc., adds in another $200 plus. This will add another $6,000 a year to your expenses. Well over the Federal Poverty level but doesn’t exceed the Medicaid threshold. A person would have to make $12.75 an hour, working a 40 hour week for 52 weeks to make just enough to pay their expenses.

The average income in the USA for 2015 was $55,775. This is $26.82 per hour, 40 hours, 52 weeks. Really? This was the AVERAGE income? I don’t know that many people that make that much per hour. Most of the people I know make between minimum wage and $15 an hour. Then again, I don’t know that many people and those that I do, I am not that inquisitive as to how much they make. But, is almost $27 an hour the average? I can’t see it when there are so many saying that they work at McDonald’s as a career.

Do you see where I’m going with this? Do you understand that it really doesn’t matter who is in what office? THEY DON”T MATTER. The ones that do matter are hidden behind walls in multi-billion dollar mansions with hundreds of security officers (aka thugs) protecting them. Like the Greek and Roman gods they look down upon humanity with disdain. They laugh at our hardships because they have no idea what it is like to scratch out enough to buy a birthday present for their 5 year old. They laugh at the laws that bind all of us because they are above any law.

How do you fight against such people? Will passive rebellion work or does it need to get violent? They would prefer the violence. Just look at what they have orchestrated so far in the USA over the last two or three years; BLM riots, mass shootings, terrorists attacks; all orchestrated and financed by the Illuminati. ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, the Oklahoma City Federal building, even the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. All by the hand of the Illuminati.

Do you fight fire with fire or do you fight it with water? That is the $64,000 question. They want violence but peaceful protests have done nothing. The only way to fight is with finances. Quit financing them and they will feel the pain. How do you do that? Quit buying shit you don’t need. I mean, most of you hate trucks and the people that drive them anyway so if you quit buying things you’ll kill two birds with one stone. The trucks will stop running because there won’t be anything to haul first of all then, after a while, those richest of the rich will start to feel the BERN!!!

It takes 6% of a population to change a government; only 6%. That isn’t a lot in comparison to the total population. Just think what just 6% of the WORLD’S population could do… 6% of 7.5 billion (estimated for 2017) is a LOT OF PEOPLE. The population of the US alone is a little over 323 million. That is almost to that 6% of 450,000,000. Our time is now. If we don’t do something soon, very soon, it will definitely be too late.

Open your eyes, stop fighting over table scraps. Let’s start working together. OUR TIME IS NOW! If we don’t, Mother Earth will no longer exist. Our natural resources will be gone; our water, air and the land we live on will be polluted beyond repair. We will have no choice but to return to the Middle Ages with tiny fires to warm our cave homes. There will be no internet, cell phones, computers or game systems. We’ll be wearing gas masks and haz mat suits to keep from killing ourselves with the filth that we’ve created. The only ones that will survive well are the most wealthy that will be able to afford filtration systems and their own private food sources. Yep, only the Illuminati will survive well. They have all the money. Even during the Great Depression, those that had money before the Stock Market crash still had money after it (at least more than anyone else).

This is what the Illuminati want; world domination and sole survivorship. They don’t care a rat’s ass about anyone else. Only they and their families matter. The rest of us are just pond scum to be used as slave labor to make them even richer.

You better start thinking about this, people. We are sheep being led to the slaughter. We are being hand fed bull shit so that we think we are doing well when all we are doing is scratching out a barely survivable living to make the rich richer.

It’s time to do something; anything. OUR TIME IS NOW!
